• Hallel B'Shir

The Temple Israel Adult Choir, Hallel B'Shir, is proud to support the community in prayer.  Our name, Hallel B’Shir, meaning Praise in Song, exemplifies our goal to elevate the worship experience of our congregation and enhance the spirituality within our services.  The members of Hallel B’Shir are all volunteer singers who enjoy connecting with each other and with their fellow congregants in song. 

Hallel B’Shir rehearses weekly on Tuesday evenings from 7:30 to 9:30 PM.  We delight in each other’s company and in the skilled direction of Eddie Pleasant, our Choir Director. Our musicality is enhanced by the expert accompaniment of Dina Pruzhansky.  If you love to sing, please join us!
